Note, that you can also run Windows Terminal as an administrator, should you need elevated access within any of the shells. Once Windows Terminal is installed, you can run it from the Start menu by clicking on Windows Terminal:
Then run the following to install Windows Terminal: choco install microsoft-windows-terminalįinally, if you have trust issues or just like to do stuff on your own, you can compile Windows Terminal directly from the sources. You can also use Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows, to install it automatically.įirst, install Chocolatey by running the following in a Command Prompt: -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "iex ((New-Object ).DownloadString(''))" & SET "PATH=%PATH% %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\chocolatey\bin"
You can get Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store here. This is a fairly recent Windows 10 build. Installing is easy but a prerequisite is Windows 10 build 18362 (or higher). Windows Terminal is still in preview, and at the time of writing this, it’s in version 0.3 (Preview). As such, it isn’t tied to PowerShell, although it can host a PowerShell session easily. Windows Terminal aims to be a powerful terminal, regardless of what scripting language you choose to use. But then again, PowerShell is still very much a management and task automation framework with a scripting language. We got PowerShell in late 2006, and that’s a very capable and viable alternative to Command Prompt. The idea with Windows Terminal is to go beyond the traditional Command Prompt, which has been around in Windows (and before that, i n MS-DOS) for decades.
